JCrouse used a solid state timer.  It can delay start up by up to a minute, but there are many to choose from.  I believe he said his ran around $45.  Here is a link to a catalog that has them:

As far as getting rid of the splash screen, check out the BYOAC book.  I just read over that section.

One thing you can do is remove all the status screens and set it to "quick boot" - these are all different per bios, however most have the option to do so. Most likely you will never completely get rid of the bios screen.

Just leave the machine running all the time!

Install an old pci slot graphics card. Make sure you dont plug your monitor into it though. Setup in your bios to boot from the pci. When your machine boots it will send its video signal to the pci, which has nothing plugged into it, thusly(is that a word) giving you a black screen. when your OS boots it should load the drivers for your AGP or onboard graphics card. presto.

Is it that bad to have PC boot info? Are you trying to defraud someone and need them to not know it's PC based???

Lilwolf:
There is a power strip that will only turn on other items after the USB makes a connection.    It was pretty cheap if I remember right.

Anyway, search around for smart power strips.  There are two types and you want the other one...
